What is the cheapest way to go on a trip to space?

in #space7 years ago

Are you tired of beaches, cruises, ancient cities and magnificent artwork?

Have you thought of spending a holiday in a luxury spa on a private island or on a luxury yacht that makes you feel safe?

A trip to space will undoubtedly suit you.

After many delays and setbacks, several companies are approaching to offer tourist trips to space.

All you need is money (lots and lots of money), the ability to deal with risks in a healthy way and with little patience.

But which of the satellite tourism providers choose?

In the absence of a satellite version of the tour guide, we will categorize available flights by (options available, cost, dazzle) and so on.

So, with your sure desire to sign your signature, we will provide you with the options available to become a traveler to space.

Virgin Galactic - VIRGIN GALACTIC

What they say: Only 553 people have traveled to space.

(Virgin Galactic) will open a wide door to travel into space.

Mission: The concept of the vehicle is centered around the takeoff, carrying six passengers and two pilots, at 50,000 feet (15 kilometers) high and suspended at the bottom of a carrier aircraft. The rocket will launch at a height of more than 62 miles (100 kilometers) within the Earth's atmosphere.

Once released from the carrier, Space Ship Two will fly into space

Ratification: Virgin Galatech - VIRGIN GALACTIC

After the engine stops, the plane will fly over an incomplete route, permitting zero gravity for five or six minutes.

You will be able to float in the cabin and see the ground below through a large window.

Then you will return to your seat back to the runway.

Check Realism:

The Virgin-VIRGIN vehicle is a SpaceShipOne vehicle. This design was completed in 2004 by Scaled Composites and has won the $ 10 million Ansari X Award for frequent trips through a special design. For a reusable spacecraft.

VIRGIN GALACTIC began to receive bookings shortly thereafter, promising to make its own tourist trips (and reporting to interested journalists) every year from October 2008 in October 2014 and during a test flight, the SpaceShip2 exploded over the Mojave Desert, Phase (Feather System) which helped to slow the speed of the landing of the vehicle.

The accident report issued by the US National Transportation Safety Council explained the cause of the accident as:

«Scaled Composite's failure to focus on protection against human error and the premature start of the Feather System» After this incident, Virgin revealed an alternative spacecraft from the missile-capable ship, but is now reserved to announce a date The first commercial flight Cost: $ 250,000 Range of surprise: 4/5 Judgment: It has been a long time since the company was established, but Virgin CEO Richard Branson seems determined to turn his dream into reality.

XCOR-XCOR

What they are saying: an experience of a changing life.

Task: Attach the seat belts next to the pilot in the space plane (Lynx) belonging to the company (Xcor)

he thrill will extend from start to finish. Lynx will take off from an airport runway to speed up to three times the speed of the sound and at 36 miles (58 kilometers) above the ground, the pilot will turn off the engines to rush into space.

The spacecraft will pass through years of testing before making its first payoff.

Authentication: Xcor

After a few minutes of weightlessness, the plane will return to the atmosphere.

It will fall through a series of narrow circles, the vehicle will face a G4 acceleration, four times the gravity of the earth before its speed slows down to the runway.

Despite the inability to float in a spacious cabin, you will sit next to the pilot at the end of the plane.

Check Realism:

Xcor does not have the same resources as Virgin and has not yet made any flight.

In addition, the Lynx has a room that will look much smaller than the Virgin Airport and Space Base (Mojave).

However, Xcor has made steady progress over the past five years in developing technology that makes its missile a reality.

The company's innovations include engines that can be turned on and off at any time during flight, as well as a lightweight aircraft body as well as the ability to make multiple quick twists.

The Xcor vehicle will be driven by a rocket engine to reach the stratosphere before returning to the ground

Authentication: Xcor

During the coming months (or perhaps years) the spacecraft will be finished and will be tested and processed across phases.

Only then will we know if this intelligent design is up to expectations.

Cost: $ 150,000

How astonished: 4/5

Judgment: The SpaceShipTo vehicle was turned into 11

Blue Organ - BLUE ORIGIN

What they say: The earth, with all its beauty, is just our starting point.

We are Blue Orign, and this is where we start.

the mission:

Put the meaningless company statement aside, this is the right capsule that you can put on a real rocket.

On the launch day you will be tied in the energy capsule with five other passengers.

The entire flight will be controlled from the ground, where there will be no need for a pilot.

Starting from the launch platform, the vehicle will be accelerated within the atmosphere to reach three times the speed of the sound until it reaches a height of more than 62 miles (100 km) above the ground.

After the enhanced rocket is separated, your capsule will enter a path in an incomplete form.

You can float in the spacious cabin, and you can look at the ground from your shoulders through a wide window (about 1 meter high) and soon the ground control station will give you orders to return to your seat to return to Earth by reaching an acceleration of 5G which is five times the gravity of the earth, and your capsule will be slowed down through umbrellas.

Check Realism: The Blue Organ was developed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Unlike Virgin Galactic or Zacor, the Amazon site has been doing most of the development of the spacecraft program in secret, yet what we've seen in public is some amazing success.

The company has successfully completed its third unmanned test of the New Shepherd System

Where the vehicle was named after the first American to travel to space, and this was the third flight using the same missiles reused.

After launching the capsule, the booster is launched to the ground, igniting its engine and spreading two legs to be fully vertical, as the company says: (fired - down - repeat).

However, there is a long way to go before the company makes sure the system is fully in place and decide to approve it for use by travelers.

We do not know how much the trip will cost, although the company has the option to book the whole capsule, so your family will be able to accompany you on the trip.

Cost: not known

How astonished: 5/5

Judgment: You will be like an astronaut

World View -WORLD VIEW

What they are saying: Push innovation to new heights

Mission: Did you know about airship flights to the edge of space where they put cameras, games or even pieces of the game (LEGO)? The scenes of the world scene are similar, but the difference is that you will be in the airship instead of those things.
e-3.jpg

The World Sightseeing Capsule will allow passengers to spend two hours looking at the ground from a distance of 30 kilometers

You will sit in a comfortable and spacious capsule with five colleagues (passengers) and a crew of two. The huge balloon, which will swell to the size of a football field, will take you to a height of 30 kilometers (100,000 feet) to reach the upper atmosphere.

Surrounded by large windows, you'll be able to spend two hours looking down at the ground like you're standing on a planet.

You can even connect to the internet and you are in the balloon, so you can update your Facebook status, not because your friends like it.

At the end of the journey, you will land with a guideable wing to ensure a comfortable landing, and a backup umbrella to be used in the event of an error.

Reality check: The World View program already has a track record of scientific experiments on the edge of space.

The technology of high-altitude ballistic missiles has proved successful without any missiles, and this should be attractive for those who want a quiet and comfortable flight experience rather than a high gravity experience.
f-3.jpg
The balloons will provide an incredible view of our planet, but it will not be exciting, the white airship is ready to take off

Ratification: World scene

If you are keen to win an astronaut's wings, the sticking point will be to travel to high altitude where we can say that outer space has begun, but a 100 km (62 miles) elevation is an acceptable limit (this is certainly the goal of other space tourism companies) .

The landscape you will see for the Earth will be great but you will not experience weight loss.

So can you call yourself a real astronaut?

Cost: $ 75,000

How astonished: 4/5

Judgment: The best view of the earth, not space.

SPACE ADVENTURES

What they are saying: opening the borders of space to citizens

Mission: Space adventures offer a range of options - from a zero-gravity experience through a private jet and a semi-orbital semi-orbital flight to a journey to the International Space Station (ISS), but the most exciting is to pay space agencies to run their money: on a moon trip.

After several months of training, it will take off from Russian spaceport (Baikonur) in Kazakhstan in a Soyuz rocket.

Where you will travel with a professional astronaut to the International Space Station (ISS), to spend about 10 days in accordance with the space environment.

At the same time, the second spacecraft - the lunar unit with the propulsion module - will be launched into orbit; separated from the International Space Station (ISS), your Soyuz will join the lunar unit to form a large spacecraft, making your mission six days more comfortable. .

All the systems will be checked in the vehicle, the flight commander will operate the engines to get the vehicle out of orbit around the Earth to hit the path leading to the far side of the moon.

You will not go into orbit around the moon but you will see a view that no one has seen since 1972.

Check Realism: The Adventures of Space is the only company that has tourists to orbit. With eight missions to the International Space Station

Space Adventures will cost you $ 50 million - but you can get a cruise on a Soyuz rocket (source: Getty Images - Getty Images)

(ISS) using Soyuz missiles. These (tourists) are highly qualified astronauts, having passed difficult medical tests and underwent months of training.

If you have $ 50 million (£ 34.7 million) and assuming you are good enough to make that trip, you can now sign up for a trip to ISS.

The Lunar Mission is a completely new step.

In theory, we have the required technology. Although the lunar vehicle has not been built yet, NASA is also planning to send human beings around the moon in the Orion capsule, so it would be embarrassing for them to be preceded by a private company.

Cost: At least 50 million US dollars (£ 34.7 million).

Only billionaires can get this trip

How astonished: 5/5

Judgment: If you get the money required for the trip, why not do it?

Conclusion

With the new spacecraft built by Boeing and Spice X (similar to the Blue Origne vehicle), and the low price of missiles, there is no doubt that in the coming years there will be many new options available.

But in the near future, flight prices will remain very high to provide us with more modest options for the weekend.

Another option for you is to be a smart, strong young man with the skills to become an astronaut.
